Manifest Space has selected The RAD Team to support development of its first orbital transponder hardware platform. The partnership marks a key step as Manifest moves from concept and policy engagement into flight-ready infrastructure designed to give spacecraft a persistent, positive identity in orbit and support safer space traffic coordination.

Manifest Space has been selected as one of seven startups for Phase 2 of the NEC X Elev X! Ignite program, advancing from over 400 global applicants. As orbit becomes increasingly congested, we are building infrastructure for persistent spacecraft identity, position, and visibility, enabling safer, coordinated operations and supporting the long-term scalability of the orbital economy.

Manifest Space has signed a commercial payload agreement with Blackwing Space for its first on-orbit demonstration, targeted for launch in Q4 2026. Less than a year after founding, the mission marks a key step toward building infrastructure for space traffic coordination, enabling spacecraft to maintain persistent identity, visibility, and position throughout their lifecycle as orbital activity continues to grow. 🚀

Manifest CEO Nick Orenstein has joined a U.S. State Department discussion group advising U.S. engagement with the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space Expert Group on Space Situational Awareness, contributing industry perspective on the future of space traffic coordination.
